🧵 I’m honored to be the next Senator for the 39th District! I am thankful to voters for placing their trust in me, and to all of the volunteers who knocked doors, made calls, greeted at the polls, and ran these elections.

Statement from Delegate-Elect McPike: “I am so honored to have been elected by my neighbors and friends to represent the Fifth District in the House of Delegates. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold today or during the early vote period to cast their votes in this election. I will work every day in Richmond to repay the faith you have shown in me. In particular, I want to thank my husband Jason, whose unwavering support has made my entire career in public life possible. “I also want to congratulate my friend Elizabeth Bennett-Parker on her big win in the race to succeed Adam Ebbin in the Virginia Senate. Elizabeth has been a great Delegate, and will be a fantastic Senator. I look forward to working with her, Governor Spanberger, and the Democratic majorities in the General Assembly to address affordability, to build more housing, to fight climate change, and to support the Federal workers, LGBTQ+ people, and immigrant families who call Virginia home. “This is an exciting time in Virginia. We’re facing big challenges, but if we work together and stay true to our values we can meet this moment and ensure that Virginia’s brightest days remain ahead of us.”

Thank you, Alexandria! It is an honor to be your next member of the House of Delegates!

Congratulations to Senator-elect @ebpforva.bsky.social and Delegate-elect @kirkmcpike.bsky.social on their resounding victories! The results are a clear mandate for their sensible progressive views and a repudiation of MAGA extremism.

After a multi year effort with the Senate passage of SB 323, we are on our way to make #ghostguns unavailable. Ghost Gun manufactures sell to people who would not be able to pass a background check, including domestic abusers, minors and violent felons.

Virginia is on track to join the National Popular Vote Compact, my bill SB 322 passed on a party line vote today after considerable debate. #EveryVoteEqual

So glad that Governor @abigailspanberger.com will be at the memorial tonight at Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. My heart is with the 67 victims and families of flight 5342 who were lost one year ago tomorrow.

Today I spoke on the Senate Floor about the murders of US citizens Reneé Good and Alex Pretti by ICE.

These actions call for an investigation and a return to humane governance!

@jeionward.bsky.social will have to have to carry the flag as the last serving member of the class of 2003.

Nice to see Secretary of Finance Mark Sickles appear before Senate Finance committee this morning. We got elected the same day in 2003 and we both will be working for the Spanberger administration.

This amendment if approved by voters would affirm the dignity of all committed couples and protects marriage equality for future generations

The Senate of Virginia just voted (26-13) to pass my Marriage Equality Amendment. It’s time for Virginia’s Constitution to reflect the law of the land and the values of today.

Happy to see a modicum of bipartisanship on the committee vote to advance my Marriage Equality Constitutional Amendment

Freedom of the press is a fundamental aspect of our democracy; it holds those in power accountable. Our communities have been greatly affected by the Trump administration's significant cuts to the federal government, and it is essential to cover this process. #TrumpisaTyrant
